I don't think it'll be that bad. Legolas Send a noteboard - 29/12/2011 07:38:41 PM
After I wrap up 2011 reading/reviewing loose ends later today, I do plan on working on writing these out until they are clearer to me. Then I'll worry about the grammar. Could easily take half a year before I'm reading anything of importance, just because of this damn alphabet.

It's a bit of a pain at first how letters can change depending on whether they're separate, initial, middle or end, but in the end it's an alphabet with not many more letters than ours, so it's not all *that* hard. As long as you stick to straightforward fonts, that is; calligraphy is a pain in the ass.

FYI I'm pretty sure you have an extra alif in there... *NM* Tim - 29/12/2011 02:22:20 PM 304 Views

Was that supposed to be kitab? You wrote n, not i, for the second consonant. *NM* Tom - 29/12/2011 04:32:39 PM 259 Views

"I" doesn't look like that in a medial position, Larry. Tom - 29/12/2011 04:47:04 PM 667 Views
I meant the typewriter "i" Larry - 29/12/2011 04:53:46 PM 641 Views
As a side note, I'm greatly amused with myself for typing "typewriter" in late 2011. Larry - 29/12/2011 05:01:39 PM 656 Views
Frankly, the rest of it looks garbled, too *NM* Tom - 29/12/2011 04:44:16 PM 268 Views
Yeah, you're not supposed to type the i, hence that hamza that you get. Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:07:14 PM 746 Views
Might be for the best at this time Larry - 29/12/2011 07:24:31 PM 627 Views

Let me put it this way... Legolas - 29/12/2011 09:27:36 PM 591 Views
I don't think "put off" is the word for it Larry - 29/12/2011 09:40:37 PM 902 Views

Persian doesn't have as many sounds as Arabic. Tom - 30/12/2011 12:27:01 AM 625 Views
A small mercy so far Larry - 30/12/2011 12:59:18 AM 763 Views
Wouldn't that just make it harder to spell right? Legolas - 30/12/2011 07:51:06 PM 680 Views
Yes. Tom - 30/12/2011 11:34:34 PM 634 Views

I have a talent with languages and it challenges my mind, which I need. Simple as that. *NM* Larry - 31/12/2011 12:32:32 AM 372 Views
